Saw my first Maybach....

[Richard W]

It was 2 tone brown and beige, going southbound on the M3 last night.

All I can say is - horrible - lumpy shape not helped by the colour. Couldn't judge much more as I was travelling northbound and it was a quick look at this huge brown 'thing' going the other way.

Sorry to say it but I think the Roller is better, takes up the space of a football pitch, but it still has the better design and more presence.

completely agree .. Maybach = beast; Phantom = beauty

saw a roller a while back - looked fantastic. not seen a maybach for real but from piccys i'm not impressed.....so i won't be buying one

I saw my first one two days ago, a maroon coloured barge .
The colour was hideous and the whole car just looked as though it was designed by a committee with very little imagination.
I'd rather have an S600 or a Bentley .

Dare I say that I think BMW have captured in the Phantom what a Rolls should be. Fantastic car.

As for the Maybach - sorry but gross!

Maybach has one purpose that everyone here has fallen for ...

Its designed to be diferent , its designed to be gross , its designed to make people go WOW and talk about how untasteful it looks ....

Ive seen some corkers of rollers too... mint green with a brown vinal roof?

Something strange must happen to you that you become really short , bald , loose all sense of good taste and willingness to drive anywhere ... when you reach here its time for a maybach

You saw one going past and that makes it a darn good look ? My dealer has one and I spent several minutes looking at it from all sides. I dont think you saw it clearly.

No I didn't see it particularly clearly, that's why I said 'couldn't judge much more'.....and 'quick look'......

Given more time to study a stationary one (let's face it living in Sunningdale, that won't be long!) my initial opinion of the looks might change, but on that fleeting glimpse - I doubt it!

You might think otherwise when you see it standing next to an s-class.

Now I may be biased because I much prefer estate cars, but if this Maybach ever got into production..........
